    Define “habitable”.

    Several countries maintain year round outposts. The facilities are generally used for science and claiming territory, but tourism is becoming bigger and restrictions on mining and fishing may go away. That could create economically sustainable communities, even if they rely on trade for their non-fish food.

    Beyond that, I doubt that the continent could sustain more life than it currently has unless parts of the continent were forested.
